Nuisance person

As I entered the elevator this evening with Dos Pesos a mother and her son entered as well. The kid went straight for Dos so I told him not to touch the dog. The kid asked why? I told him that Dos may bite. Then the mother said, you should put a muzzle on the dog then. Yeah sure lady! That's exactly what I am going to do. How about you teaching your child to listen to and obey adults?

Buyer beware and then some

Overstock and their cohort Comerxia - Customer service: who needs it...!?

Comerxia

Nachtrag: November 21, 2005

Hello Esther,

I visited your blog recently. I was impressed by the clean neat beauty of your diary pages, ;) But I should confess that my reason to visit your blog wasn't quite cool at all.
I was searching for 'comerxia' in yahoo canada, you already got it what it's all about aren't you?
I ordered two books from overstock.com via comerxia, and it's not coming for a month, never got a piece of email except those stupid automatic messages.
I was wondering if you received your books you ordered, or ever cancelled your order and got money back.
Well, I hope your things had worked nicely for you, and hopefully for me also in future. ;-)
Sincerely,
G.

Part of my response

I ordered a digital camera on Overstock.com. But I think the order was passed on to Comerxia. Sorry, but I don't quite remember the details. What happened though is, I received a refurbished camera that did not work at all. I basically paid for garbage. Eventually, it took forever, I was refunded part of the money only. I had to cover postage for both ways, and also part of the product price. I was ANGRY throughout the whole process, because I was not able to reach any person. I was constantly told by Overstock, that they are not in charge of foreign orders. What also bothers me is, that as a Canadian consumer, one is left to believe, that one buys from Overstock. Which in fact is not true.

Air Care

my carTomorrow my car insurance runs out. That means my car (1989 Chevy Sprint) has to pass Air Care today in order to get re-insured. That's what I'll be doing as soon as I took a shower.

Being famous

I imagine walking a Beagle puppy must be very similar to being a famous person. One gets to talk to all kinds of people who all ask the same questions. They all are experts in raising a Beagle. They all want to know her name. A walk can be quite strenuous.
